| Summary | "A Diary Without Dates" by Enid Bagnold is a fictional narrative written in the early 20th century, likely during the time of World War I. The book presents a glimpse into the life of a nurse or V.A.D. (Voluntary Aid Detachment), as she navigates the complexities of hospital life and her interactions with wounded soldiers. The story captures the ebb and flow of emotions experienced in a wartime hospital, focusing on themes of love, pain, and the impermanence of life. At the start of the narrative, the protagonist grapples with her feelings amidst the backdrop of a dim hospital. She reflects on the isolation and camaraderie found in her surroundings, observing the officers and fellow nurses around her, including an intriguing soldier named Mr. Pettitt, who increasingly occupies her thoughts. The beginning of the book establishes an atmosphere of longing and introspection, intertwining moments of humor and melancholy as the protagonist contemplates love and the transient nature of relationships in the midst of wartime uncertainties. Through her experiences, Bagnold conveys the realities of life in a military hospital, effectively setting the stage for the unfolding emotional journey.
